Philadelphia, PA - July 11, 2018 - Philadelphia quintet Neverkept has shared a brand new video for their single, "Vertigo," streaming now here: https://youtu.be/f70p1Fp4cIQ. The track was recorded/mixed with Taylor Larson (Periphery, I See Stars, Asking Alexandria), and comes from the band's forthcoming debut album (set to be released later this year). Stay up to date on the latest news from Neverkept at
On "Vertigo," the band shared: "The song itself is a fun, upbeat tune with lyrics about breaking out of your comfort zone and trying new things. It's about coping - adjusting to life's struggles and moving forward from them."
"We wanted to contrast the bright sound of the song with a video that was darker and a little more introspective. Charlie Anderson and his crew did an amazing job directing a really beautiful video of two brothers that did just that, but with an emotional ending," they continued. "It was also his idea to silhouette the band, so that we weren't visible during the band shots to further portray the ambiguity."
Neverkept is an American rock band with a pop-punk influence. Blending layered vocals, heavy drums, and aspiring lyrics, the band's music serves as an outlet for their convictions. The name Neverkept alongside of the music itself touches on the notion of realizing lost hope - acknowledging the possibility of striving for better.
Neverkept is Dorian Cooke (vocals), Jay Miller (guitar), Aaron Mong (guitar), Neal DiMento (bass), and Pete Adams (drums).

Hemp, Inc. Launches National Tour to Expand Industrial Hemp Growing Capacity in the United States
Spring Hope, NC. , July 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) announced today that it has launched a multi-state national tour to meet with industrial hemp farmers across the nation in order to expand the company’s hemp-growing capacity and provide small to medium size farms access to the company’s state-of-the-art hemp processing and manufacturing infrastructure in Spring Hope, North Carolina. A global leader in the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot industrial hemp processing and manufacturing facility has been operational since August 2017. It is the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere.
The multi-state tour began in North Carolina where planting began on thousands of acres. Southern Nevada and Arizona were also visited by Hemp, Inc. CEO, Bruce Perlowin where he met with hemp growers to discuss possible joint venture partnerships and purchased high-end, high-CBD industrial hemp. “The timing could not be more perfect, as industrial hemp is in the 11th hour of becoming legal after passing the Senate,” says Perlowin. He also began work to launch a new product line (which will be discussed in more detail in future press releases). Perlowin then toured California where he met with more hemp growers, including Frank Van Vranken of North Cal Wood Products. Vranken has an organic seed crop with 100,000 seeds and 26 strains, in Ukiah, California.
To see daily one-minute video updates of the multi-state tour, go to Bruce Perlowin’s personal FaceBook page. We also appreciate and encourage everyone to “like”, “comment” and “share” these historical videos documenting the resurgence of hemp to America and the American small family farmer.
Hemp executives are now in Oregon where they are examining a hemp grow with 60 different varieties of high CBD hemp being grown for Hemp, Inc. “There is very little THC and very high CBD in these hemp grows,” said Perlowin. The Hemp, Inc. team is scheduled to tour Colorado, Kentucky, West Virginia and possibly New York and Pennsylvania over the next few weeks.
“This Tour is centered on creating a large block of suppliers of hemp biomass, hemp flower, hemp stalk and, in fact, all the components of the hemp plant,” said Perlowin. “In the U.S., there are thousands of hemp grows with the potential to earn a really good income, more so than almost any other crop. Imagine the benefit to those hemp farmers of having access to Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot industrial hemp processing facility.”
The U.S. Senate passed in June its 2018 Farm Bill that includes provisions that would legalize hemp, removing it from the federal list of controlled substances and allowing it to be sold as an agricultural commodity. Now that hemp legalization language is included in the Farm Bill approved by the Senate, it will be part of discussions by the bicameral conference committee that will merge both the House and Senate bills into a single piece of legislation to be sent to President Trump's desk for his historic signature, signing the bill into law.
As support for hemp legalization continues to gain bipartisan support on Capitol Hill, Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin has been meeting with hemp farmers in Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon and Colorado, among other locations. According to Hemp Business Journal, the hemp industry is projected to grow 700% and hit $1.8 billion by 2020.
To see daily one-minute video updates on Hemp, Inc.’s ongoing progress, go to Bruce Perlowin’s personal FaceBook page. The Facebook post from 6/28/2018 shows another semi of processed LCM’s being shipped out and the final planting of one of many fields of hemp being grown this year. We also appreciate and encourage everyone to “like”, “comment” and “share” these historical videos documenting the resurgence of hemp to America and the American small family farmer.
“We recognize that the time is now to capture the rapidly evolving multi-billion dollar hemp market,” said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “We began building our world-class infrastructure for hemp manufacturing and processing in Spring Hope, North Carolina, prior to North Carolina implementing its hemp cultivation program over four years ago so that we could service the industry’s need as soon as the program launched. We are strategically investing our time in developing partnerships with farmers across the country to help them play a key role in this new economic landscape.”
Passage of the Farm Bill with provisions that legalize hemp at the federal level will also encourage interstate commerce and spur economic activity in towns throughout the United States. Notably, the U.S. imported $78 million more worth of hemp than it exported in 2015, according to Fortune, which highlights the impact federal prohibition of hemp has had on this trend.
As more states continue to adopt pro-hemp legislation, more companies are entering the industrial hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) industry and looking to expand their footprint in the marketplace, thus aligning with Hemp, Inc. for its proven expertise and state-of-the-art hemp processing and manufacturing infrastructure in Spring Hope, North Carolina.
ABOUT HEMP, INC.

As a leader in the industrial hemp industry with ownership of the largest commercial multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in North America, Hemp, Inc. believes there can be tangible benefits reaped from adhering to a corporate social responsibility plan.
